URGENT !!
Can anyone out there remember the beatiful Jamaican Cous-Cous curry recipe
as I wish to check that I have it right ?
My way goes.
Ingredients
===========
1 clove of fresh garlic (dried lacks a little aroma)
3 chopped lemon grass strands
1 tablespoon lime juice or squeeze a fresh one.
1 tsp ginger
oil of choice
3 red or green chillies - to choice (this is the conservative measure)
3 julienned spring onions
1 cup of dry cous-cous
0.5 pints water
handful of green or red frozen veg for contrast
soya/coconut milk to taste
Fry dry herbs in a little oil to spread the flavours. Crush garlic into
oil and fry with onion for 30 secs. Add chopped chillies- beware the
fumes. After ~15 secs pour in the cous-cous, water, lime juice and a
little milk, IN THIS ORDER [avoids the Water/Oil flashback. Cover and
leave to cook for ~15 mins. Serve with suitable accompaniments
[chilli/lime chutney goes well]. Add rice and this dish serves four
easily, alone it serves two well ! Personally, I am not a coconut milk fan
and so stick to the soya but it's your choice.
